Hi,
Have you thought about looking at the Titmus Vision Screener?

Hi Lynne
What did you think about the Optec vision tester, is it better than
the Keystone? One of the problems I find with the Keystone is testing
people for near vision who wear Bifocals, as they have difficulty with
adjusting their eye level when wearing their specs.
Kind regards
Anne

Hi,
Sue
We
use MicroLab 3500s, have done for years and they are extremely user friendly,
sturdy and reliable. We trialled a Vitalograph Alpha for a
month and our OHNs couldn't return it quick enough! (Apologies to Janine Hill
from Vitalograph who was amazing to come to us at our office workshop and carry
out a superb presentation, answer our questions AND lend us a new machine for a
month). It just wasn't meant to be because we were already sold on
our tried and tested MicroLabs from MicroMedical but wanted to look at what
else was out there.
Definitely
talk to Liz Donaghy at Kays Medical. We have bought our last
MicroLab and Keystone Vision Tester from Kays and their service is
exemplary. They also work for their money and come out with
relevant reps to demonstrate the various models. (We have just had
a demonstration from Amplivox on their Optec vision tester, organised through
Liz.) These pieces of equipment are not cheap so look before you
buy.
Just
one addendum regarding the MicroLab 3500 series. They run on
internal battery and mains adapter. Our OHNs were routinely
plugging them in to the socket - never using the battery power
alone. This reduces the life of the battery dramatically and once
the battery dies, the machine does not function on the mains
adapter. Be advised to use the battery on a frequent basis and they
will give you fault free service for years.
Regards
Lynne
